Question

At 5 atmosphere pressure, the volume of a gas is 1200 ml. What pressure is required to reduce

Answer 1

Answer:

3 atm

Explanation:

The new pressure can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

Since we are finding the new pressure

$P_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{V_2}$

From the question we have

$P_2 = \frac{5 \times 1200}{2000} = \frac{6000}{2000} = \frac{6}{2} = 3$

We have the final answer as

3 atm

Hope this helps you
